Then, now and even nower

I always love looking at how kids change as they grow up so I'm going to be lazy and just do one of those posts. Actually I'm not even going to consider it lazy because there are more posts this month then all of this year so far and those who are still popping in here are just happy to see something new :)

So here is Ava now and if you go here you will see a similar picture from 2008.
And just for the record this is post 472.

The Cat

She lays in bed as the cat circles her. Soots rubs up against her face for affection or cleans Ava's hair before cuddling up into a ball on her pillow. Ava's voice calls out "Oh man Soots thinks my hair is yarn".
This morning as I combed out Ava's hair I found one of soots claws in it. I guess Soots does think her hair is yarn.

Update

Ava's hair..... still looks the same, I got sick and we cancelled her appointment. I have yet to make a full recovery so no new appointment has been booked.

I have a working keyboard that means I can do this ggggggggggggggggggggggg and it doesn't take me an hour weeeeeeeeeeeee and look at the way that e just dances effortlessly across the screen. The old keyboard went even more down hill having me abandon typing for the most part altogether. The s, w, h stopped working as well, so along with the e and the g there weren't may word I could use to get my point across so instead of madness I chose avoidance.

And just so I can add a new picture I love..... we got our trampoline up over Easter weekend and it is the best kid distractor ever. All three of them will spend hours in there, all yelling BEST TOY EVER!

Hair

Ava is going to get her hair cut on Thursday! Like cut to her shoulders! I want to put my foot down and say no! no! no! but that just isn't who I am. It is not my hair or my head and it is not an unreasonable request.
Unless, maybe someone out there can say "yes it is, you have every right to lock her in a tower and throw away the key, she did say that she wanted to be a princess right? so that makes it an acceptable option".

It looks like this now

I want to cry
cuz that hair
that hair she wants to cut off
is BABY HAIR

which seriously Jen
let go already!
